“We’re up on this riser and Drake’s also there watching the show along with another few artists. I was like, ‘I’m going to go say hi, he must remember me,'”Mendes said.

Pretty soon he was immobilized by Drake’s security team—who likely didn’t want any nutso fans in close range of the rapper.

“So I go over to him and touch his side. Next thing I know I’m in the middle of The Weeknd show with my arm hooked behind my back. Drake’s security guard has me completely at his mercy,” Mendes said. “I see Drake look over, my eyes, I knew it was like, ‘Help me, please Drake.’ In that moment, if he didn’t know who I was it would’ve been the most embarrassing… I don’t know what I would’ve done. I would’ve been in jail.”
